Description:
"The work of a virtuoso with prose . . . His intricate symbolic order [is] akin to that of James Joyce's Ulysses." --"Chicago Tribune " The highly original satire about Oedipa Maas, a woman who finds herself enmeshed in a worldwide conspiracy, meets some extremely interesting characters and attains a not inconsiderable amount of self-knowledge.
